    This is the most dystopian shit I’ve heard recently — capitalists directly colluding as a functional monopoly to suppress your wages for your entire life.

      Yeah, this is incredibly fucked. I truly wonder if we could have taken control of our privacy and data collection at any point along the way and had a more informed consumer.

      It still brings me back to the early days of the internet when you never told anyone your name and certainly didn’t give companies anything more than they needed to send you products.

      Unfortunately, I think they have gotten addicted to the blood and we will never be able to stop it at this point.

        Credit Reporting business started before the internet existed, so probably not.

    TrueWork exists, but they have a shitty privacy policy.
